Today, we just released a new feature that allows you to create public and private groups.
Members of a group will be able to share private items, discuss with other members and recommend trading items.
How to Create a Group
- In QuantShare website, click on "Groups" in the top menu
- Click on "Create a new group"
- Type the group name, description and select the group type (public or private)
- Click on "Create Group"
But why should you create a group?
There are several reasons and here are some:
- You have a website and you want to share trading items only with your readers or subscribers
- You have a team and you want to have a group where you can discuss and share trading items only with members of your team
- You want to create a specialized public group so that other traders can contribute
- You want to exchange trading items privately with other QuantShare members
How to Become Member of a Group
- Go to "Groups" page
- Click on the group link
- Click on "Send request to join this group"
If the group is public then you will be member of the group instantly.
If the group is private then a request will be sent to the admin of the group. Once the admin accepts your request, you will get a notification (Home - Notifications)
Once you become a member of a group, you will be able to download private trading items, display recommended trading items and create/respond to topics in the discussion board.
Important Note:
Please read the description of the group as the admin may put some specific conditions to be met in order to become a member.
Example: QuantShare Private Group
To be part of this group, you need to upload at least 3 trading items. One of these items must be private and associated with the "QuantShare Private" group
How to Share a Trading Item to a Specific Group
- In QuantShare application, select "Tools" then "Sharing Server"
- Select the item you want to upload (must be an item that you have created and not an item that you downloaded from the sharing server)
- Click on "Share selected item"
- Type the item name/title, description then enter the Group ID next to "(Group ID)"
How to find the group ID?:
When visiting a group, check the URL in the top bar of your browser. Example:
http://www.quantshare.com/index.php?option=group/group&lid=1
The group ID is the number located just after "lid=". In this case, the group ID is 1.
